2种甾体抗原对甘肃高山细毛羊繁殖率的影响

[目的]观察2种甾体抗原对甘肃高山细毛羊排卵数的作用。[方法]在甘肃省张掖市肃南县和武威市天祝县,用2种甾体抗原免疫甘肃高山细毛羊,研究2种甾体抗原对甘肃高山细毛羊繁殖率的影响。[结果]肃南县试验点,试验组甘肃高山细毛羊的排卵率为168.00%,对照组排卵率为108.62%,试验组比对照组排卵率提高59.38%,差异极显著(P<0.01)。天祝县试验点,试验Ⅰ组排卵率为158.97%,对照组排卵率为103.92%,试验Ⅰ组比对照组排卵率提高55.05%,差异极显著(P<0.01)。试验Ⅱ组排卵率为137.92%,试验Ⅱ组比对照组排卵率提高34.00%,差异极显著(P<0.01)。[结论]2种甾体抗原均可以提高甘肃高山细毛羊的排卵率。

Endocrine status and scent attractiveness in male dwarf hamsters Phodopus sungorus injected with thymus-dependent and thymus-independent antigens

We studied the influences of immune activation by thymus-dependent(sheep red blood cells,SRBC)and independent(bacterial lipopolysaccharide,LPS)antigens on odor signals and endocrine status in dwarf hamsters.Administration of SRBS to mature males resulted in a drop of sexual scent attractiveness of soiled bedding collected during 5 days after injection.This effect was accompanied with a decline of fecal testosterone.Reduction of the male scent attractiveness after SRBC treatment had maximum manifestation in males of dwarf hamsters with low humoral immune response to this challenge.Contrary to the effects of SRBC,males injected with LPS showed an increase of scent attractiveness.Differences in the time that mature females spent sniffing olfactory stimuli(LPS vs control),correlated positively with differences in concentration of testosterone in feces collected from LPS and saline treated males.We discuss the adaptive meaning of the opposite olfactory effects,which induced by activation of the nonspecific innate immunity with LPS and by activation of specific acquired immunity with SRBC.
